Market expert Mark Moss has drawn the crypto community’s attention to an 
indicator that has perfectly nailed Bitcoin cycle tops. Based on this 
indicator, the expert revealed that the cycle top is unlikely to happen this 
year, as other analysts may have predicted. Pi Cycle Top Indicator Reveals 
Next Bitcoin Cycle Top In an X post, Moss stated that the indicator is 
predicting a Bitcoin cycle top in the first quarter of 2027, not at the end of 
this year. He made this comment while describing the Pi Cycle Top indicator as 
the “Holy Grail” of Bitcoin indicators. The expert noted that the indicator 
nailed the Bitcoin cycle tops in 2013, 2017, and 2021. Related Reading: 
Analyst Sounds Alarm For 50% Crash If Bitcoin Doesn’t Make A New ATH Soon Moss 
admitted that this latest cycle top prediction is hard to believe, as everyone 
is expecting Bitcoin to peak in the fourth quarter of this year. However, the 
Pi Cycle Top indicator suggests that the Bitcoin cycle top will occur in Q1 
2027 and that the BTC price could reach $395,000 by then. Crypto analyst Rekt 
Capital also recently alluded to the Pi Cycle Top indicator, noting how it was 
hinting at a possible cycle extension. He also confirmed that the indicator 
predicts a Bitcoin cycle top will occur in Q1 2027, with the flagship crypto 
possibly reaching $400,000. The analyst noted that, based on previous cycles, 
the Bitcoin cycle top is expected to happen in the fourth quarter of this 
year. However, the recent BTC rallies have caused the Moving Averages (MA) to 
shift to higher prices. With these MAs shifting with every Bitcoin rally, Rekt 
Capital stated that it could take at least until mid-early 2026 before a Pi 
Cycle Top crossover occurs. However, the analyst advised that it is still 
important to be cautious about Q4 of this year and possibly develop an exit 
strategy in case the Bitcoin cycle peaks then. The BTC 4-Year Cycle Is Over In 
a recent podcast, Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart and Bitwise Chief 
Investment Officer (CIO) Matt Hougan gave their opinions on whether the 4-year 
Bitcoin cycle is over. Seyffart stated that he expects the amplitude of these 
cycles to reduce as more institutional investors enter the BTC ecosystem.

Sideways Based on his statement, a Bitcoin cycle top might not happen as many 
expect, as the analyst predicts there won’t be massive drawdowns again with 
the flagship crypto maturing. On the other hand, the Bitwise CIO opined that 
the 4-year cycle for BTC is over. He explained that the factors that drove 
this four-year cycle are now watered down. Meanwhile, there is a growing 
inflow into Bitcoin, which would continue to drive demand. In line with this, 
Hougan declared that 2026 will be an up year for Bitcoin. At the time of 
writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $119,000, down in the last 24 
hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Pixabay,
